First of all, sorry for the slight delay but the Internet requires some logistics. The first step is to borrow a pink bike with added flags of Canada or a bike with the pedals as eighth in the world to get to the internet ... short, we're finally here. The whole team is in perfect shape and Bosnia will become certainly a tourist destination to be monitored by the splendor of its landscapes. To reassure parents and friends, this country does not leave very little trace of its wartime past. Only a few houses still show these dark years. The
Teams arriving more and more since our arrival. Brazil, Germany, Russia, the U.S. and Great Britain was already there when we arrived, but every day we review some familiar faces and new teams. There should be more girls' teams with the presence of Denmark, Bosnia, Japan, Venezuela and Costa Rica as new teams. Besides, the Japanese team informed us they did a lot of video in the last year from our videos!
Side organization, is well worthy of the last world with the difficulty of having good logistics shuttle go to practice because we are still in the days not official. Communication is difficult but we are working on our Bosnian quietly. It learns new words every day.
For facilities, FOU ... COMPLETELY CRAZY!! Imagine they built a site slalom amazing! Located in one of several canyons, it is lit from top to bottom (the race will be tonight). The strings are metal wires connected to stakes in the cliff, with wooden stairs, platforms every 20m, platforms, etc.. The Bosnians are working hard to reach in time. In one day, they were paved parking lot yesterday ... ok in the company stopping many times to admire the girls team in bikini top to sunbathe until the shuttle!
For now, we sleep with the locals. In fact, it was a beautiful yellow villa belonging to the mayor of the community where we are until 17. Yesterday evening, we were received with a bbq typical oil-based! Meat tour in oil, bread in oil, salad oil ... Brief oily but still very good. Especially that of typical shooters were added and they have also been impressed by the willingness of a large red ... Digestive time until then that our dear mayor decides to bring the coach Drive to explain his strategies for success slalom speech Bosnian (he had imagined he could understand more after 2 shooters!). ah yes, and beer piazetta also followed the expedition. He wanted pe do so also because the coach away at dinner, he proposed the villa and the hand of his son Val! yes! yes! Val is all the rage among the organizers here ... very handy indeed!
Until 17, it should be hard enough to write to you again, but worry not for us, everything goes well. It's hot, the water is turquoise, the sprint and slalom are superb and the descent, the only comments one receives is that it is VERY beautiful and that anyone can get it! In short, it's flat and it's going to paddle a long time!
With that, we leave you with some pictures. A + fans!
